Life as Mrs. Hefner

She is probably best known for marrying Playboy founder Hugh Hefner in July 1989, an event which sparked worldwide media attention. The comic strip Doonesbury referred to the event as the belated end of the 1970s. The Hefners have two sons together: Marston Glenn Hefner (shares birthday with his father: April 9, 1990) and Cooper Bradford Hefner (September 4, 1991).

One of the more unique events in the Hefner household was Conrad's knighting ceremony in 1989. Just prior to marrying Hefner, Conrad was knighted by his Highness Prince Frederick von Anhalt also known as Robert Hans Lichtenberg, the adult adopted son of Princess Marie-Auguste of Anhalt who was daughter-in-law of German Emperor Wilhelm II.[3]

After nine years of marriage, Conrad and Hefner separated although remained married. Hugh Hefner was quoted, "I would've been happy to divorce her when we separated, but she wanted to remain married for our boys."[4] Conrad then moved into a house next door to the Playboy Mansion. After an 11 year separation, Hefner filed for divorce stating irreconcilable differences in September 2009 after his youngest child turned 18;[4] the divorce was finalized in March 2010.[5]
